Environmental Policy
We are environmentally conscious and try to act responsibly taking our impact on the environment seriously. As such, we strive to ensure that all aspects of our business have the least harmful effect on the environment where possible by:
- Travel - Using public transport where practical and on most journeys over 80 miles
- Communication - Realising significant environmental savings can be made by use of electronic communication. However, we are not believers in the paperless office
- Suppliers - Sourcing suppliers with credible environmental practices and policies [Our printers are 100% carbon neutral and use environmentally friendly/sustainable paper and vegetable-based inks etc]
- Products - Using recyclable or environmentally friendly products
- Materials - Ordering various supplies in sufficient quantity to help reduce unnecessary deliveries and packaging. Our printer cartridges are continually refilled, reducing unnecessary plastic waste
- Disposal - Disposing of our waste properly , recycling where possible or donating to a charity shop (as appropriate)
- Waste - Minimizing waste where possible [using 'off cuts' from our printing for training aids]
- Conservation - Offsetting our carbon emissions by supporting various charities who protect and conserve our natural habitat or protect animals at risk (see below)
